Off to a 0-1 start after Denver woke up in the second half and Peyton Manning picked apart the Ravens secondary. The reason I made it a two-star pick and not three was because of the potential for a blowout.

This season I will pick every NFL game against the spread again, but will do it a little differently. I will categorize my picks in three groups: three-star picks, two-star picks, one-star picks.

Three-star pick***= I am very confident in one of the sides. Will try to make 3-5 per week.

Two-star pick**= I have an opinion on game but not strong enough to be very confident.

One-star pick*= Don’t have much of an opinion on game but will pick anyway

Here are my week 1 picks:

Three-star***

Giants +3 over Cowboys

Redskins -3.5 over Eagles

Texans -4 over Chargers

Two-star**

Bills +10 over Patriots

Steelers -7 over Titans

Saints -3 over Falcons

Dolphins +1.5 over Browns

Seahawks -3.5 over Panthers

Vikings +5.5 over Lions

Raiders +10 over Colts

Rams -4.5 over Cardinals

Packers +4.5 over 49ers

One-star**

Jets +3 over Buccaneers

Chiefs +4 over Jaguars

Bears -3 over Bengals
